Kathryn Dethier, chair of the Design Department and professor of Interior Design, recently wrote an article "rStore: Revitalizing Torresdale Avenue in Tacony" about her experiences redesigning storefronts for the Community Design Collaborative. The article has been posted on their blog.

Dethier volunteers at the Community Design Collaborative for projects in the summer and is also a guest critic. The Collaborative is a community design center that provides pro bono preliminary design services to nonprofit organizations in greater Philadelphia, offers unique volunteer opportunities for design professionals, and raises awareness about the importance of design in community revitalization.
